ORF expert suffers along
Skiing fairytale missed: “You rarely see something like this!”
Bitter loss for Steven Amiez! The Frenchman was in the lead after the first slalom run in Val d'Isere on Sunday, but his nerves failed him in the final. "You rarely see a mistake like that," said ORF expert Thomas Sykora, sympathizing with the local hero.

Then the second pole was in his way, which normally doesn't play a role in a long move," said Sykora, analyzing the mistake made by the son of former ski racers Sebastien Amiez and Beatrice Filliol.
Huge disappointment in the finish area
The leader after the first run was leveraged out after his mistake and landed roughly in the snow. Amiez had been the home hopeful following Clement Noel's withdrawal due to injury, and the disappointment was written all over his face and that of the French fans in the finish area.
"That could have been his day," said Sykora about the Frenchman's missed skiing fairytale. As it was, victory went to Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen. Manuel Feller was the best Austrian in fourth place.
